The revolution the feeds the children gets my support!


✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

Took the kids for another bike walk and they're getting really good at pedalling. It's getting to the point we need to teach them how to use the brakes because they're going so fast. Which is funny considering they kept pedalling the wrong way initially, putting the brakes on and not going anywhere. It got to the point they hated the new pedal bikes and wanted to go back to the balance bikes.

One of my kids threw up a few times recently and is really mindful about being sick. They'll grab a bucket in the morning just in case, even though they're fine. They'll even say anything they don't like will make them sick, like their jumper will make them sick if they can't get it off, the trolley at the supermarket will make them sick because they don't want to get in it. It should be a passing phase but that's a big thing at the moment.

And the kids tried finger limes yesterday. It's an indigenous fruit full of these little pearls of juice. My manager has a little venture trying them and brought some in. They're very strong to have on their own but would be great on cheesecake, fish, or in a cocktail. The kid concerned about being sick didn't really go for them, but the other one was getting stuck in.
